Comprised of John Darnielle (the Mountain Goats) and Franklin Bruno (Nothing Painted Blue, the Human Hearts) The Extra Lens began as a potential home for any song John wrote that had a) more than three chords or b) a bridge. New songs for the group only happened when John figured he'd written something that Franklin might find clever or amusing, although at least one such song, remembered as Anti-Witchcraft Song, is lost. Recorded with Brian Paulson and with Mitch Rackin, Undercard is the first Extra Lens record to arrive as a full collaboration between songwriters. Adultery, Crusierweights, Only Existing Footage, Communicating Doors, Programmed Cell Death, How I Left the Ministry, Some Other Way, Ambivalent Landscape Z, In Germany Before the War, Tug on the Line, Rockin Rockin Twilight of the Gods, Dogs of Clinic 17
